CENX to deploy carrier ethernet exchanges services in Zayo's data center


Jul 06, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- zColo, a Zayo Group company, and CENX, Inc., an operator of connected carrier ethernet exchanges, have announced the execution of an agreement enabling CENX to deploy its platform and offer its carrier ethernet exchange services in Zayo's data center facility located at 60 Hudson Street in New York City.

zColo is the exclusive operator of the 60 Hudson Street Meet-Me-Room. zColo also manages the riser infrastructure which enables interconnection between hundreds of domestic and international carrier and content networks throughout the building.

"zColo is continually looking for ways to enhance the connectivity options available to our customers," said Steven Finnerty, vice president of Sales at zColo. "The agreement with CENX enables our data center customers to benefit immediately from Carrier Ethernet services with a leading provider, augmenting the wide range of interconnection options currently available in our data centers. We believe the CENX platform will create additional value to our customers." "As a result of Zayo's extensive connectivity options and solid data center presence in 60 Hudson Street, CENX is well-positioned for significant growth," said Tony Thakur, Senior vice president of Engineering at CENX. "As the world's first, largest and most connected Carrier Ethernet Exchange, we believe that combining our services with Zayo's strong, well-connected data center and our innovation in integrating Carrier Ethernet services, IP, voice, and video connections over a single or protected high-speed connection, will provide an extremely compelling platform for service and content providers alike." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
